An electronic communication service provider supplies users with the ability to send or receive wire or electronic communications. Some examples of these providers include the Army, America Online, a university, or a corporation. Note that some portions of the ECPA, notably section 2702, apply only to entities "providing an electronic communication service TO THE PUBLIC." DoD entities do not, as a rule, provide electronic communication service to the public.
